Freesync is great if you can utilise it - but it's not looking favourable at the moment unfortunately, with Vega shortages.
No worriesHuge thanks to Plec for work so far and props to other posters for additional comments.
I will probably be seen in another section of the forum around build time
Which memory for 3200? (as unless you get the right sticks the speed isn't guaranteed at the moment - although may hit with the next AGESA update.)
Bad @orbitalwalsh
She only went for the 3200MHz as the original ones (300MHz) you mentioned were out of stock - they now have a delivery date of 29/09 so may go back to them and save Grandad a few quid.Which memory for 3200? (as unless you get the right sticks the speed isn't guaranteed at the moment - although may hit with the next AGESA update.)
3200Mhz isn't vital, approx ~2% speed gain over 3000MHz. But if Good Ol' Grandad's chipping in and budget allows it's a nice luxury.
Below sets are guaranteed to hit 3200Mhz (AM4 approved) - and the GeiL have RGB which she may like. They have looser timings than the 8 Pack but you won't notice the difference in real world usage:
My basket at Overclockers UK:
- 1 x GeIL Evo X AMD Edition 16GB (8GBx2) PC4-25600 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (GAEXY416GB3200C16AD= £155.50
- 1 x Team Group Dark Pro "8Pack Edition" 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/= £188.99

Unfortunately, both sets are very popular - but they usually get Vulcans in stock very regularly. The GeiL is very hard to get hold of sometimes - I presume as it's good value for guaranteed 3200MHz b-die memory.
as plec has mentioned Vega 56 and a Freesync 144hz monitor can be had cheaper then a Ti and shame pricing as the better GTX 1080 cards .
If you know your way around hardware, the Vega 56 and be flashed to a Vega 64 saving a lot of cash and with a slight overclock can near a GTX 1080 card .
also comes with two BIOS's so if it goes wrong, your covered
would pump up the ram to 3200 hz version

They've had b-die in the past - not sure about their present stock. Worth a ring to OcUK Customer Services but they may not be able to clarify.
You want to ask if their present stock of 'Team GroupDark Pro 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kits' are Samsung, b die single rank kits.says 2 In stock at the moment... I can't ring them as I have little clue what to ask
True - it's a large order they may well offer free P&P and a discount on the 8 Pack memory to match the GeiL price as it's not in stock. They can be quite generous at times, with discounts, when buying a lot of components.worth asking if they could do a deal for you on 8 Packs version.... might get £20 off, if not you've found some where else for the ram thats confirmed what PCB that ram kit is
if you dont ask you dont get !
